Chapter 43: On the bank of the Qinhuai River, the eunuch goes to the Qinglou

Luckily, I noticed an anomaly!

Zhang Yandeng asked again and again, Wang Li repeatedly denied it, and temporarily fooled the past!

I just hope that there is no revealing stuffing!

If the stuffing is exposed, it is estimated that he will not sit in the position of the factory man for a long time!

Even if you don't get assassinated, you will be impeached!

's own old bottom, all his black history, will be "human flesh" by some people!

It's terrifying!

No wonder Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to come!

No wonder he didn't say a word in front of Zhu Youzhen!

This guy is really scheming!

He has long wanted to collect commercial taxes!

However, the resistance to the collection of commercial taxes, he has long been clear!

Come to think of it, although the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty are booming, although there is the germ of capitalism, it is still mainly farming in nature!

Daming's current taxes, field and salt classes are the "right items", and they have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

Other tea taxes, sea taxes, lottery points, real estate deed tax, bamboo and wood taxes, mining and silver, fishing classes, etc., are all "miscellaneous"!

Moreover, the "positive" taxes are levied on the people, they are considered "vulnerable groups", and no one dares to resist taxes!

However, behind every big businessman, there are different officials who are supporting!

Taxing merchants touches the interests of officials!

Whether civil or military!

Whether he is a Donglin Party or not!

The East Factory is so strong that I don't dare to come, I'm a fart in the West Factory!

Still, it's okay!

Zhu Youzhen also knows the resistance to the collection of commercial taxes, and he is mentally prepared: Zhejiang and Fujian are just "pilots"!

Even if you can't levy a few dollars, it's not a big deal!

……

The fleet went south for several days and was about to arrive at Yingtianfu.

Wang Li sunbathed in the bow of the boat every day, looking very leisurely.

At this time, thousands of miles away in Beijing, Zhu Youzhen was entangled.

No one will know that Wang Tiqian, one of Wei Zhongxian's henchmen, has long "abandoned the dark and turned to the light"!

Mastering a series of black histories of Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youzhen gritted his teeth in anger!

These black histories are enough for Wei Zhongxian to die thousands of times!

Of course, even without these black histories, just his plan of "changing the tanuki for the prince" is enough to sentence Ling Chi!

It can only be said that the limitations of Wei Zhongxian's identity as a eunuch doomed him to failure!

His ultimate goal can only be to deceive his superiors and subordinates: he hopes to completely hold Zhu Youzhen in the palm of his hand like controlling Zhu Youxiao.

His only chance to "break the boat" was when Zhu Youzhen had just ascended the throne!

At that time, the government and the opposition, inside and outside the palace, were almost all his henchmen!

At that time, it was very easy for him to put Zhu Youzhen to death!

However, after a few months of wait-and-see, temptation and apprehension, Zhu Youzhen's wings gradually increased!

And Wei Zhongxian, there is no chance to "break the kettle"!

"Long live the lord, do you send someone to Shanxi to arrest him, or wait for him to return to the palace to do it?"

Zhu Youzhen clenched his fists, and was just about to speak, when Cao Huachun hurriedly reported: "Long live Lord, this is a secret letter from Wei Zhongxian!" ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Youzhen was slightly surprised and took the letter.

After reading it, I was furious!

"Okay, you Mu Zhikui! As the governor of Shanxi, he dared to pretend to be public and private! One million taels of silver! You're too daring! ”

The corners of Zhu Youzhen's mouth twitched, and it took a long time to recover: "Give Wei Zhongxian an order: bring all the silver back!"

At all costs, take down Mu Zhikui!

I want to live!

I'm going to put him to death! ”

"No!"

Cao Huachun hurriedly went to do it, and Wang Chengen asked carefully: "Long live the lord, Mu Zhikui ...... him?"

Alas!

Zhu Youzhen sighed softly and shook his head.

If Wang Ergou is "not ruthless", Cao Huachun is more than loyal, but his ability is insufficient!

He went to Shanxi to be busy for a month, and he didn't find any fart!

And Wei Zhongxian, as soon as he arrived in Shanxi, he found out Mu Zhikui's fake public and private interests!

This guy, taking advantage of the convenience of defending the Acting Palace, quietly transferred more than one million taels of silver!

Wei Zhongxian deserves death!

But, he is indeed a sharp knife!

Except for him, no one can find out Mu Zhikui!

It's a pity that Wang Ergou's West Factory has not yet become a climate!

Wei Zhongxian's sharp knife can't be thrown away for the time being!

Those difficult Wenchen, he still needs to settle it!

In that case, let you live a little longer!

……

The smoke cage is cold, the moon is long, and the sand is long, and the night is close to the restaurant in Qinhuai.

The lights are red and green, and the swallows are singing.

The sound of silk and bamboo, the wine is intoxicating.

Presumably, Emperor Qianlong's seven visits to the south of the Yangtze River were lingering on both sides of the Huai River!

But......

How sad can you be, just like a eunuch going to the green building!

Although he was a "eunuch", although he didn't dare to mess around for the sake of his life, Wang Li still didn't want to leave.

"Factory company, factory company ......"

Song Zhe called a few times, and Wang Li finally turned around, but made a gesture of silence.

"Come on, reward! One hundred taels!

The song "Mountains and Flowing Water" just now, please Zhao Ji play it again! ”

The wine is in the stomach, and the mellow aroma enters the throat.

Wang closed his eyes slightly, and then asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Factory father, Wei Zhongxian sent someone to send a secret letter!"

"Oh?"

Wang Li took the letter and was overjoyed after reading it.

Fortunately, someone was sent to keep an eye on him!

This guy caught a big fish just after he arrived in Shanxi!

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhikui's courage is too great!

Dare to take away three million taels of silver from the palace of the king!

That Wei Zhongxian, he is even bolder!

Only one million taels were reported!

It's okay, it's okay, those who see it have a share!

He took the initiative to come up with a "five-five"!

Hahaha!

Unexpectedly, drinking in the Qinglou and listening to music, I earned a million taels!

"Someone! Han Ji, who sang "Yushu Backyard Flowers" just now, gave a reward of two hundred taels! Ask her to sing again! The seven girls who accompanied the dance each gave a reward of fifty taels! ”

"Factory ......"

"Oops, why are you again!"

Wang Li didn't look back, and threw out a silver ticket of one hundred taels: "Find a box to play by yourself, don't bother me!" ”

"Thank you! The factory is mighty! ”

Song Zhe took the silver ticket, but did not leave: "Factory Gong, Fujian Governor Xiong Wencan, heard that the factory Gong moved to Ying Tianfu, and specially came to meet him!" ”

"Damn! Do you want to kill me?

How many times have you said it, don't say the word "audience"!

Let him come up! ”

"No!"

Xiong Wencan, 53 years old, from Yongningwei, Sichuan, is a 35-year jinshi in Wanli.

He once served as the left political officer of Shandong, the envoy of Shanxi according to the inspection, the political envoy of the right cloth of Shandong, the squire of the military department, and the secretary of Shangshu.

The strange thing is that not long after the Chinese New Year, this guy was appointed governor of Fujian and went to Fujian early.

Because he didn't know the history of the late Ming Dynasty, Xiong Wencan did any big things, or who he was with, Wang Li didn't know anything.

Today, he took the initiative to find himself, he should have given silver!

"The factory is so interested! I heard that you are in Nanjing, and the official has been looking for you for three days and three nights, but I didn't expect to be in Zuichun Building! ”

There seemed to be a reproach in the words.

Moreover, there is no mention of money!

Wang Li glanced at him, a little unhappy:

"Lord Bear! You are your governor, I am my factory father, and we will not violate the river water in the well!

Could it be that you are the only one who can come to the Drunken Spring Building?

Could it be that eunuchs can't enter the hook bar?

Could it be that the factory can't listen to the music publicly? ”

"No, no, no! Don't get me wrong! ”

Xiong Wencan sat down unceremoniously and poured himself a glass of wine: "Gonggong, I mean, if you like to listen to music, you should go to Meixianglou!"

Zhen Yao, the top singer of Meixiang Building, is a famous Qin Huai!

This woman is talented, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her poetry and songs are a must! ”

"Zhen Yao?" Wang Li sneered and shook his head.

Zhen Yao's name, Yuan Chonghuan has already mentioned it.

However, in Wang Li's opinion, although this person is famous, he is not as good as the legendary "Qin Huai Eight Uniques"!

Otherwise, it will be the "Qinhuai Nine Uniques".

Merely......

"Mei Xiang Lou, my factory has also been there!

It's a pity that I didn't get on the list three times in a row! Alas......"

"Don't worry, there is time! This drunken girl in the Spring Mansion is really ......"

"Lord Bear!" Wang Li interrupted Xiong Wencan's words and raised his voice: "You mean, the taste of the factory is too bad?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Actually, Zuichun House is still good! In this Qinhuai River, at least the top three or four can be ranked! ”

After a glass of wine, Xiong Wencan frowned, patted out ten taels of silver, and shouted: "What song is so ugly? Change the song "Spring Rain in the South of the Yangtze River"! ”

"Don't change it!"

Wang Li slapped a silver ticket and shouted: "Just play "Mountains and Flowing Water"!" Legato ten times! ”

Wang Li didn't give an inch, and Xiong Wencan's face sank.

From the governor of the second grade, he is indeed not afraid of the commander of the third grade!

Even the Admiral of the West Factory is the newly established West Factory!

However, Xiong Wencan quickly changed his face, and said with a smile: "Factory father, if you want to build a port in Fujian, do you understand the situation in Fujian?" ”

The words are full of hostility!

Wang Li naturally felt it, but remained silent: "Lord Xiong, please give me a lot of advice!"

Come on, change the song "Spring Rain in the South of the Yangtze River"! ”

Wang Li softened, and Xiong Wencan's eyebrows fluttered.

"Factory Gong, Fujian's trade port, you may not be able to build it!"

"Oh? Why can't it be built? ”

"Factory father, Fujian has been dry for two years, and the terracotta is everywhere!

In many villages, the bark of grass roots and trees has been eaten away!

In the coastal area, thieves are rampant!

Without 350,000 horses, it's hard to pacify! ”

"Thirty or fifty thousand? Lord Xiong, you didn't lie to me, did you? ”

"Factory father, how dare I deceive you!

The Moon Harbor at this time is not the Moon Harbor of ten years ago!

The pirates led by Zheng Zhilong not only took a large number of people captive to Jilong Mountain, but also killed Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian!

The pirates Chen Xifan, Yang Lu and Yang Ce, who had already returned to the Ming Dynasty, were also killed by that Zheng Zhilong!

His fleet has grown to more than seven hundred!

Equipped not only with bows and muskets, but also with Western cannons!

Even if it was a Dutch warship, when it saw Zheng Zhilong's fleet, it could only run away!

The former governor, Lord Zhu Yifeng, although he expelled the Dutch pirates, he was no match for Zheng Zhilong!

It's a pity that Master Zhu has not yet become a water master, so he was forced to resign and return to his hometown because he offended Wei Zhongxian! ”

By observing words and feelings, Wang Li can basically determine that Xiong Wencan is not lying!

It's just that the pirate Zheng Zhilong in his mouth is a little familiar?

Who is this guy?

Even the Dutch warships were afraid of him?

Zheng Zhilong......

Zheng Zhilong......

I'll go!

Wang Li was so excited that he slapped his thigh!

Isn't this person Zheng Chenggong's father!

Zheng Chenggong is a national hero, what's the matter, his dad is a pirate?

That's right, Zheng Chenggong!

Where is he at this time?

"Lord Xiong, what age is the pirate Zheng Zhilong you are talking about? Where is the inventory? ”

Xiong Wencan didn't know Wang Li's original intention, and said truthfully: "This person is still young, about twenty-four or five years old;

He swooped around the coast, without a fixed prong;

However, he often traveled back and forth between the coast and the Hirado Domain!

By the way, there is also information that he married a Japanese woman named "Tagawa Song" and gave birth to a son!

It seems to be called ...... Zheng Sen...... Or call Zheng Fusong to ......"

I'll go!

Call him Zheng Sen or Zheng Fusong!

This little baby, isn't it Zheng Chenggong in the future!

Wait!

Zheng Chenggong's mother is a Japanese national?

This one...... I really haven't heard of it!

It's a pity that Zheng Chenggong at this time is only four or five years old!

Da Ming, I can't count on him!

But...... His father, Zheng Zhilong...... If you can recruit An?

Hey!
